Nearing Staff Planner It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 26, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS This is an appeal by the Planning Staff of a decision made on March 10, 1988 by the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning a request, initiated by the Board of County Commissioners, to consider amending the land use/zoning designation for up to 17.9 acres of land. This request is to redesignate all or a portion of the subject property from U.S. 1 Commercial Corridor to MD -2, Medium Density Residential 2 (allowing up to 10 units/acre), and to concurrently rezone the affected portion from CL, Limited Commercial to RM -10, Multi -Family Residential District (up to 10 units/acre). The subject property is situated along U.S. 1 south of the Indian River Boulevard at the access to Vista Royal Gardens. On January 23, 1988, the Board of County Commissioners considered a request by the residents of Vista Gardens that the County initiate a downzoning of the subject property. After considerable discussion, the Board determined that the concerns of the affected citizens warranted the County to:reexamine the - status of this property. As a result, the Board directed the staff to initiate the land use plan amendment/rezoning process for ten acres of the subject property. Because the Board did not specify which ten acres to consider and to allow maximum flexibility in designating an appropriate area, the staff advertised the entire site as under consideration for action. On March 10, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-2 to deny this request. The Commissioners felt that commercial zoning was appropriate for the entire 17+ acres and should be retained. The staff has appealed this request in order to permit the Board of County Commissioners, by whose directive this action was initiated, a chance to review this request. Chronology of Past Events Because of the extensive zoning/land use history of this site, a brief chronology and follow-up graphic support document has been included with this item. This material references action concerning this parcel and adjacent property` back to 1969. Becauserecords are incomplete prior to this date, no reference is made to action occurring before 1969. However, as shown in the chronology, all or part of this property has been zoned commercial since 1969. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of cation will be presented.
